After Christmas, but before the new year began Matt decided to take me away for a couple of days. Have I mentioned what a wonderful, thoughtful, loving husband I have? If not, then I have surely been remiss in my duties!! Anyway...he decided we would go to Boyce Thompson Arboretum near Globe/Superior, AZ.
The weather was much warmer than home and we had fun just spending some time together...alone!

Well, I guess that's about it from our trip. Pretty awesome! We had a great time. More soon!
These are gorgeous pics!! You all have some beautiful plant life down there. What kind of camera are you shooting with?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rachel! I'm shooting a Sony Cybershot DSC-W55. It is actually an old point and shoot. I keep saying that I need to get something newer and better, but I can make this one perform despite its outdated technology.

I guess you can't even order it from Sony anymore! Wow! It really is old school! ;o)
